England’s dominant victory against Croatia

England was awarded a penalty in the ninth minute of the high-voltage match at the World Cup. Rice took an outswing corner from the right. And here the penalty was called! Modric tried to clear the ball and hit Maduek in the stomach, knocking him down. The referee blew the penalty whistle.

But Harry Kane could not score from the penalty spot on his first attempt. Kane took a shot to the left, but Livakovic blocked it. Then a dramatic turn!

Before the goal, Croatian defender Guardiola entered the penalty box, and Livakovic also came off the goal line a little earlier. So the decision was made to take the penalty again.

This time Harry Kane made no mistake. He sent the ball into the net with a powerful shot from the right (1-0), and goalkeeper Livakovic jumped in the wrong direction.

England made a wonderful attack in the 31st minute. Kane passed the ball brilliantly to Maduek. Maduek’s low cross created a big problem for the Croatian defense. Bellingham ran from behind and joined the attack, but at the last moment he could not touch the ball properly.

Five minutes later (in the 36th minute) Croatia equalized. Susic passed the ball to Martin Baturina with great skill. This Croatian midfielder shot towards the top left corner of the post. Pickford was able to get his hands on it, but the speed of the shot was too high for him to stop. The ball went into the back of the net (1-1).

England took the lead again in the 42nd minute. The scorer was Harry Kane! Rice took an outswinging corner from the right. Kane ran from behind and headed the ball brilliantly into the bottom left corner (2-1).

However, England lost that lead again in the first half. Croatia equalized with a brilliantly created goal. However, England’s defense was also at fault here.

Pasalic excellently extended the ball over the top. Perisic headed the ball down to Peter Musa. Musa coolly volleyed past Pickford (2-2).
